Stephen,
You could say that metric legislation in the US is, by definition,
suffering, just by the fact that it is US legislation.
The greatest nonstop argument of my lifetime is when and how my country
is finally going to fix SI as its standard of weights and measures. It
is the greatest perpetual paradox I can come up with---a nation that
worships science, but stalwartly refuses to measure everyday things
scientifically. Stay tuned for more knock-down drag-outs!
